1. Declutter your space

If you’re working from home and are working from your bedroom, it might be filled with endless coffee cups, bowls and unfolded laundry. The first step to creating a calming atmosphere is eliminating the clutter. A clean room equals a clean mind. While you really can’t call the raddi guy, you can start by eliminating all the excess clutter and storing it away. Just remember where you kept your things once the lockdown is over. Not motivated to declutter? Watch Tidying Up With Marie Kondo on Netflix or some YouTube videos and get cracking.

2. Add plants

Since you can’t go outside, bring it inside. Plants have a calming effect, help improve the overall air quality and give respite to your eyes after working on a laptop. Fret not if you don’t have pots or mud, or even seeds. You can grow dhania, ajwain and basil from the seeds you have in the kitchen in a jug of water. All you need to do is germinate them on a wet cotton pad, and then transfer to a bottle when they grow roots.

3. Light a candle or agarbatti

Smell is a power tool in calming yourself down, especially if you add essential oils in the mix. Break out that scented candle you’d bought ages ago or light an agarbatti so that it can instantly put you at ease.

4. Change your sheets and curtains

Avoid putting sheets that are too busy with prints, and keep things as neutral as possible. You want to create a warm, cozy atmosphere and that means changing the linen in your room.

5. Play some meditative music

If you want to unwind after a long day, it’s time to make good use of your Spotify/Gaana playlist. There’s plenty of meditative music which will make you feel zen. If you’re having a hard time sleeping, consider a meditative app or white noise.
